Of course, none of this has anything to do with the fact that what is being produced by way of entertainment is absolute dreck and has been for several decades.
Something I see here in Jakarta all the time -- a new place opens, has great products, builds up a following, then slowly the quality declines as the owners start pushing profits over satisfaction. Within two years, the products are crap and the place shuts down. You can scale that to pretty much any level. The biggest problem I see is that Hollywood still fills the room, leaving no space for smaller, leaner and higher quality offerings.
This a peek at what happened to the great empire-one big swindle created by the Feral Reserve and its pimps of pleasure. stick with the Porn industry, you get better ROI. Hollowood hasn't anything of innovation in the last 20 years. You can't keep selling crap on white screen, as Blackrock etc turns the junk bonds into assets, call GS or Chase and make a deal. The Big short was about as good as it gets!
Hollywood drove off a cliff when the board room took over the writers' room. When scripts were products of committees, and test screenings became the gold standard, all was lost. It all hit the bottom of the cliff when franchises took over the production pipeline.
Hollywood began with producers trying to outrun Edison's patent lawyers, and the money from the new industry attracted the mafia. The rest is history--born and raised in piracy. Hollywood went from stealing intellectual property to viciously defending it.
Boycotting Israel for it’s genocide of Palestinians also impacted Hollywood given it’s nearly completely owned and operated by Zionist Jews. Younger audiences are aware of the slaughter and who is responsible for it.
It seems, and the jury is still out on this one, that the younger folks are so jaded on media that the messaging doesn't work any more. They are also driving a shift from passive watching, to interactive participation. I don't know if that's better, but it's certainly different.
One thing that can be said, for better or worse, is that a generation unchurched hasn't been pummelled with Zionistic worship, and so they only see the secular state and not the supposed rationale behind it. Christianity was subsumed a long time ago, and decades of false indoctrination in the Apocalypse Cult that allowed Zionists to control millions of minds. Without the mythology, the control mechanisms don't work.
Can a clean break be pulled off? And what will replace it? Deep ponders lie ahead.
When I look at a few of who's coming and going, it supports my suspicion that this is part of the Great Housecleaning, the answer to the Great Reset. As I said in a comment last week, the entertainment industry was part of the Gramscian march through the institutions, and with the transition from the idealogical commies to the Davosoros, the final stage of rottenness was achieved. Right along with the agitprop in professional sports, like kneeling during the Anthem and the attempted emasculation of iconic products like Bud Light, we saw the boards of entertainment giants like Disney, which screamed America and apple pie, taken over by infiltrators that insisted they turn out an aesthetically anesthetizing stream of woke propaganda. Disney was perhaps the worst and most obvious victim, but it's really been scorched earth since the 80's, I'm guessing.
I think people underestimate the extent of the revolution that's underway, which requires that we toss old templates out the window to properly assess what's going on, even through a glass darkly. This is still the richest country in the world, not an empty husk like Europe, and it's not the Fed or corporate America that are the enemies of the moment but Europe and the UK and the international banks associated with them.
Yes, the US bankers are the greatest source of potential control and power in the world, but no, they have not decided to hand the keys to their kingdom over to a bunch of EU commie-technocrats that have been trying to hoover those of us they don't murder into 15-minute cities and a CBDC that they control. Nor did Jamie Dimon et. al. just build a gargantuan building in NYC, only to have the place gutted by some Islamocommunist Al Sharpton.
No way, if you ask me, is this turnover in the entertainment industry an attempt to extract the last few drops of blood from the goose that laid the golden egg. There's gold in them thar hills, and scads of money to be made by giving people what they want rather than what Klaus and George thought they could get away with foisting upon us. Trump won because there was bigger money behind him than that behind the Lilliputians that have been picking us apart for the last 75 years, and that money is still there and salivating at what the resurgence of the country will offer them.
I don't know that I could say it any better or more succinctly. There is no doubt that US-based interests hold the keys to the empire, and they won't relinquish them without a fight.
What I see in Hollywood is a major shift from the feature-film/cinema model, to something much different. To the extent that they need humans at all, they farm it out to low-cost sweat shops here in Asia, while everything else is generated entirely inside a computer. It's part of a century-long degradation of art and culture to create a climate of mediocrity and ugliness for the masses, so we have no dreams or aspirations. We will have nothing and will be too stupid to know we are miserable.
It is not the media/entertainment industry that is dying, it is the archaeic art form that is on life support. In the remade version, it will all be virtual and ubiquitous. You will not be able to escape the messaging, and there won't be any real, physical stars to ruin everything with their opinions and self-destructive tendencies. We're nearly there now, but we can't have film archives and old studios/brands lying around to remind folks what we've lost. There is a dividing line beyond which memory can not exist, so that the artificial replacement will be the only thing that has ever existed.
If only I had the salary from FT. It's not hard to write better than those clowns. Most of their "content" is reheating press releases. Thanks, though. I appreciate the compliment.
I love "The Player". It feels so genuine in terms of storytelling, and the homage to Orson at the beginning had me hooked immediately.
You've keyed in on my unspoken point. I chose Hollywood because I understand it, but once you know the 12 Red Flags, you can see the trends everywhere--not only in the corporate world, but with national governments, as well. There is volumes of evidence that the entire global economy is being looted clearly following the model I presented. I may be wrong, but it is something that bears watching.
Great information and well organized! Thanks! While I love the art form I have come to despise the current industry. Nothing but con men and grifters screwing all they can.
Hollywood has always been full of conmen and grifters, but they accidentally made some great stories along the way. With regard to the 12 Red Flags, you can see those just about everywhere these days. The entire System is being looted before...whatever happens next. Like the shrunken head said in Harry Potter, "Hang on! It's gonna be a bompy ride!"
Hollywood is a microcosm of just about everything, even nations. If you take the 12 red flags and apply them to any industry (or government) right now, you'll see the same thing. It's all being monetized and looted, leaving the empty husks in the sun to rot. The Ukraine and Israeli wars are nothing more than smoke screens to plunder the treasuries of the US/UK/EU, and doing a fine job of it. Ballooning debt loads, narrative reversals, exec changes, and so on, signal a vast unwinding and sell-off that obviously do not benefit the shareholders/voters who paid for it all. Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Or as I like to point out: It's when n organiZed crime moves off the street into the boardroomZ.

Love yhe title, by the bye.
Heat article, mate. As good or better than anything I've seen in the Financial Times. Keep it up@

I was thinking of The Player the entire time I was reading this piece. It seems the asset stripping is in every sector of every Western nation.

Just the COMPANY
controlled by CIA
CIA, MI-6, Mossad, FSB, et cetera ad nauseum. They are all connected
